And people seriously believe he’s gonna go evil?
Look at my puppy, I just can’t even deal
I’d like this to replace that chart they have in doctor’s offices. Instead of a pain scale, they can just have these different Kylo heads.
sweep him off his feet
girl!! where is your hand at!!
kylo ren when he couldn’t bring himself to shoot leia at the beginning of the last jedi
This is my headcanon on how Redeemed Ben Solo looks like.
(i’m copying this from my twitter where i do the bulk of my thought-sounding-outs)
rey basically fucked up. i don’t mean that in the sense of “she should have taken his hand”, but she should absolutely not have approached this from the angle that she did (even though it’s not her fault, and i’m not blaming her for it–i’m speaking purely from a ben solo redemption angle).
i think i myself was aware of this when rey said something like “he’s our last hope for the resistance”, because at that moment i briefly thought, “rey, he is NOT going to work for the resistance so quickly.” but i let it slide because as an audience member i was rooting for the resistance anyway, and if he does turn towards rey, that’s still a point for the resistance, right? well, it turns out my previous thought was right, because when rey mentioned the resistance after the praetorian guard fight, that’s when it all went to shit.
okay but DJ’s character was just actual space jack sparrow
I’ve never been a redemption stan, but I gotta say I hope Kylo gets the help he needs and the happy ending he deserves cuz honestly he’s the most miserable Star Wars character I’ve ever seen. Even kill-the-younglings-Anakin had a support base with people who tried to help him, but brickhouse-with-a-baby-face has nothing. Like he’s completely alone and everyone’s given up on him and he fails at everything. He got separated from him family, his uncle basically tried to kill him for being depressed, he was traumatized by a child predator and killed his dad because said predator told him to and the predator was all he had. He’s completely emotionally stunted, and the only thing he’s got going for him is raw physical power which makes people pass him around like a sack of meat. JESUS, this dude has NEVER had a break, no WONDER he’s a hot mess, he’s literally being punished for the karmic mess his grandfather left behind JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE-
If you think about it, we sort of get the life story of Kylo Ren in microcosm within the first minute of his appearance in the movie.
His master attacks him for not being literally perfect according to his master’s standards, and when he tries to stand up for himself, challenge this assessment for the bullshit that it is? He’s attacked out of the blue without so much as a change to properly defend himself or assert his autonomy. And the one affectation that he chose for himself (judging by Snoke’s truly epic sneer at any right)? For that he’s called ridiculous and childish.
People talk about Kylo like he had some life of privilege because of who his parents were, but a cage of gold and gilded genetics is still a cage no matter how you slice it.
^^^^
I just genuinely feel incredibly sorry for him. I never thought I’d fight tooth-and-nail for redemption bUT HERE WE ARE.
Today’s warm up! A very Gothic Kylo Ren.
In TLJ, there is only one moment where there is no conflict in Kylo Ren and that’s when he decided to choose Rey.
Why is the Force connecting us? You and I?
The way Adam/Kylo delivers the line “Aaah, you doo…” is so erotic.
@reylooo 100% agree, there’s something almost musical about the way he pronounces the ‘o’ sound and it’s hot as hell
This quote speaks to Reylo like no other.
Soulmates are like mirrors = the mirror cave. I feel like this confirms that she was seeing Ben, but what he was showing her was herself when the fog lifted. Why? Because like this quote says, “shows you everything that’s holding her back.” What’s holding her back? What’s holding her back… is HERSELF. Her hope on her family coming back; her hope of finding her purpose. But her purpose has already been written by the Force. She was set in motion the moment she met Kylo. There’s that balance again. Rey brought attention to Kylo. Kylo brought attention to Rey. Both reminding the other that they aren’t alone; they can stand together. Rey really tore down Kylo’s walls in this movie, which was so important. If she hadn’t made a dent in his defensive and already torn up walls, then he would be made of stone in episode 9. But she blossomed herself like a seed… now the vine will grow all over his walls and eventually cover it all (the light). Kylo really tore down Rey’s walls by reminding her that even though she doesn’t have a huge legacy with her heritage, that she’s still important. It was hard to hear no doubt…but necessary for her growth. This all goes back to the yin yang and what it stands for. Both have light; both have darkness. They NEED both. But they also need each other to balance it out. EQUAL. When one is rising with too much darkness, the light in the other will meet it. When one is rising with too much self righteous light, the dark will help meet it so they can come back to down. They aren’t a perfect fit. There are so many cracks, just like a broken mirror. But they can piece it back together again… just like the saber. And I think that’s what it represents. Who knew how important the mirror truly would be to this story? Mirrored souls for sure. Safe to say… they’re soulmates.
aaaaand here’s a small gif of leia shooting poe in case any of y’all want to use it as a good ‘ol ‘fuck you’ reaction gif
And that was to have Kylo kill her. The person she had come to care for. I feel like this is way more significant. Why is Kylo the cruelest stroke? Because they are soulmates.
